If the tattoo isn’t part of state’s evidence, and the work is done by a professional at zero cost to the state or facility that he is being held in, I don’t see an issue. Having it on his neck can persuade the jury, and is essentially the same thing as if they walked him into court in his jumpsuit or escorted by deputies instead of walking in with his lawyer.

um..many MURDER suspects are in fact ushered into court by deputies and are often in jumpsuits with cuffs on if they are considered dangerous. The decision to put a huge tattoo on his neck in capital letters that spell MURDER was a poor decision that was obviously not made in haste. The jury has every right to see this, especially if this is what he looked like at the time of the murder, as this may have influenced his mindset. He saw this image every time he looked in the mirror before the murder.

Mhmm

Why hide true colors unless trying to be deceptive to the jury. He knows they aren’t stupid, we know what a tear drop means. The fact that he got them in such a visible place shows he was proud and boasting.
